Hyperlink V3 COMPLETELY REDESIGNED We have completely re-designed the third version incorporating new technology developed during the design process of our high performance race winning R1 V4 and Chrono V4. The Hyperlink is a true multipurpose foil kite, bridging the gap between inflatables and foils - dynamic and engaging to ride with high performance characteristics. The third version brings a new feeling of performance and covers almost every aspect of Kiting. Free ride, hydrofoil, boost and float, air style or unhooked, backcountry snow missions, you name it and it delivers! NEW PLAN-FORM AND BRIDLE LINE LAYOUTA new plan-form, bridle line layout, internal structure, Transverse Sail Shaping and increased cell count make the Hyperlink V3 more dynamic to fly, sitting further forward in the wind window with increased drive upwind and less physical to ride than the V2. Additionally, the bar pressure has been reduced with the option to increase or decrease by simply adjusting the Brake Line Settings. POWER GENERATIONThese new design features and performance attributes make the Hyperlink V3 feel lighter and more playful in the air. Handling and power generation through turns is where it excels making it a fun kite for active flying when the conditions are light.The upper wind range also has been massively increased to be comparable with a similar size inflatable kite. The increased handling, lighter bar pressure and power generation through the turns make it the dream snowkite, you can ride all day without fatigue. HIGH PERFORMANCE ULTRA LIGHT MATERIALSThe Hyperlink V3 features a durable, airtight and lightweight double rip-stop Nylon material for the upper and lower surfaces. The material has a unique formulated coating to help shed water, improving flying characteristics and water re-launch. INTERNAL DIAGONALS AND STRAPSInternal span-wise straps work in unison with optimized diagonal ribs, distributing load from the bridles evenly and effectively. This increases the internal structural balance, while allowing the top and bottom surfaces to maintain the designed profile without being distorted from indirect tension or loads. TRANSVERSE SAIL SHAPINGThe Leading Edge now features Transverse Sail Shaping creating a cleaner surface on the most important area of the aerofoil. The result is less turbulent airflow and longer skin adhesion, which positively effects the lift to drag ratio increasing overall performance. 4- LINE CLOSED CELL versus 5-LINE OPEN CELL Watch the how-to video to ensure you understand the correct method to change between 4-Line Closed Cell and 5-Line Open Cell modes.4-LINE CLOSED CELL MODEThe Hyperlink comes standard in 4-Line Closed Cell Mode, utilizing our Front Line Flag Out Release System. This is recommended for water use – it is a simple and effective flag out when the Quick Release is activated – it works the same way as our 4-line inflatable water kite range4 Line Closed Cell Mode is recommended when riding on water. Inflation is quick and smooth after pre-inflating the kite. If you are already an inflatable kite rider it will only take you one session to get to know the Hyperlink. For twin tip riders once the kite is in the air and powered up the similarities to an inflatable kite can be felt. It has progressive handling, generates smooth consistent power, great upwind performance and jumps well with long hang time and smooth landings. Ideal for Foil Board riding, the Hyperlink produces more power than an inflatable kite size per size - this means you can use a smaller more maneuverable kite to generate power. Maneuvers are made easy thanks to the stability and lift produced as the Hyperlink flies through the zenith – a great help when learning to tack and gybe giving you time and float to change board direction. In light winds the Hyperlink will fly above you unlike inflatable kites that have a tendency to fall out of the sky. This makes getting set up for starting stress free. 5-LINE OPEN CELL MODEThe optional 5-Line Internal Re-Ride Release System Conversion Kit is recommended for snow or land use. The Internal Re-Ride Release System de-powers the kite instantly without tangling, and falls to the ground to re-launch when ready. 5-Line Open Cell Mode is recommended when riding on snow or land. Similar inflation as in Closed Cell Mode, slightly quicker due to the valves being open. Snow and land riding are a blast, the easy inflation and Internal Re-Ride Release System means it can be taken anywhere safely. The Hyperlink combines the perfect balance of handling, pop and float to make the most of terrain and flats. It is easy to get big air on this machine!
